- On a remote Mediterranean island, Mario Ruoppolo (Massimo Troisi), a shy and simple-minded fisherman's son, is hired to deliver mail to exiled 'poet of love' Pablo Neruda (Philippe Noiret).

Stamped with Love - Il Postino review by CP Customer
A wonderful romance, excellently acted with a gentle humour running throughout. Yes, it has subtitles but it really is worth getting past them because this is a film to curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine. A gem!

Beautiful and moving - Il Postino review by vs
I was enchanted by this film from the very start. The acting, filming in this gloriously understated film was stunning. I've not been so moved by a film for years.

superb - Il Postino review by Popeyethetim
Moved me to read Neruda again. Beautifully portrayed a wonderful and simple love story told with simplicity and having the weight of passion and sensuality all underlaying it.
